License : BSD2 (see the file LICENSE) Maintainer : Christiaan Baaij <christiaan.baaij@gmail.com> 'TopEntity' annotations allow us to control hierarchy and naming aspects of the Clash compiler. We have the 'Synthesize' and 'TestBench' annotation. === 'Synthesize' annotation The 'Synthesize' annotation allows us to: * Assign names to entities (VHDL) \/ modules ((System)Verilog), and their ports. * Put generated HDL files of a logical (sub)entity in their own directory. * Use cached versions of generated HDL, i.e., prevent recompilation of (sub)entities that have not changed since the last run. Caching is based on a @.manifest@ which is generated alongside the HDL; deleting this file means deleting the cache; changing this file will result in /undefined/ behavior. Functions with a 'Synthesize' annotation must adhere to the following restrictions: * Although functions with a 'Synthesize' annotation can of course depend on functions with another 'Synthesize' annotation, they must not be mutually recursive. * Functions with a 'Synthesize' annotation must be completely /monomorphic/ and /first-order/, and cannot have any /non-representable/ arguments or result. Also take the following into account when using 'Synthesize' annotations. * The Clash compiler is based on the GHC Haskell compiler, and the GHC machinery does not understand 'Synthesize' annotations and it might subsequently decide to inline those functions. You should therefor also add a @{\-\# NOINLINE f \#-\}@ pragma to the functions which you give a 'Synthesize' functions. * Functions with a 'Synthesize' annotation will not be specialized on constants. Finally, the root module, the module which you pass as an argument to the Clash compiler must either have: * A function with a 'Synthesize' annotation. * A function called /topEntity/. You apply 'Synthesize' annotations to functions using an @ANN@ pragma: @ {\-\# ANN f (Synthesize {t_name = ..., ... }) \#-\} f x = ... @ For example, given the following specification: @ module Blinker where import Clash.Prelude import Clash.Intel.ClockGen type Dom50 = Dom \"System\" 20000 topEntity :: Clock Dom50 -> Reset Dom50 -> Signal Dom50 Bit -> Signal Dom50 (BitVector 8) topEntity clk rst key1 = let (pllOut,pllStable) = 'Clash.Intel.ClockGen.altpll' (SSymbol @ "altpll50") clk rst rstSync = 'Clash.Signal.resetSynchronizer' pllOut ('Clash.Signal.unsafeToAsyncReset' pllStable) in 'Clash.Signal.exposeClockResetEnable' leds pllOut rstSync where key1R = 'Clash.Prelude.isRising' 1 key1 leds = 'Clash.Prelude.mealy' blinkerT (1,False,0) key1R blinkerT (leds,mode,cntr) key1R = ((leds',mode',cntr'),leds) where -- clock frequency = 50e6 (50 MHz) -- led update rate = 333e-3 (every 333ms) cnt_max = 16650000 -- 50e6 * 333e-3 cntr' | cntr == cnt_max = 0 | otherwise = cntr + 1 mode' | key1R = not mode | otherwise = mode leds' | cntr == 0 = if mode then complement leds else rotateL leds 1 | otherwise = leds @ The Clash compiler would normally generate the following @blinker_topentity.vhdl@ file: @ -- Automatically generated VHDL-93 library IEEE; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL; use IEEE.NUMERIC_STD.ALL; use IEEE.MATH_REAL.ALL; use std.textio.all; use work.all; use work.blinker_types.all; entity blinker_topentity is port(-- clock input_0 : in std_logic; -- asynchronous reset: active high input_1 : in std_logic; input_2 : in std_logic_vector(0 downto 0); output_0 : out std_logic_vector(7 downto 0)); end; architecture structural of blinker_topentity is begin blinker_topentity_0_inst : entity blinker_topentity_0 port map (clk => input_0 ,rst => input_1 ,key1 => input_2 ,result => output_0); end; @ However, if we add the following 'Synthesize' annotation in the file: @ {\-\# ANN topEntity ('Synthesize' { t_name = "blinker" , t_inputs = [ PortName \"CLOCK_50\" , PortName \"KEY0\" , PortName \"KEY1\" ] , t_output = PortName \"LED\" }) \#-\} @ The Clash compiler will generate the following @blinker.vhdl@ file instead: @ -- Automatically generated VHDL-93 library IEEE; use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL; use IEEE.NUMERIC_STD.ALL; use IEEE.MATH_REAL.ALL; use std.textio.all; use work.all; use work.blinker_types.all; entity blinker is port(-- clock CLOCK_50 : in std_logic; -- asynchronous reset: active high KEY0 : in std_logic; KEY1 : in std_logic_vector(0 downto 0); LED : out std_logic_vector(7 downto 0)); end; architecture structural of blinker is begin blinker_topentity_inst : entity blinker_topentity port map (clk => CLOCK_50 ,rst => KEY0 ,key1 => KEY1 ,result => LED); end; @ Where we now have: * A top-level component that is called @blinker@. * Inputs and outputs that have a /user/-chosen name: @CLOCK_50@, @KEY0@, @KEY1@, @LED@, etc. See the documentation of 'Synthesize' for the meaning of all its fields. === 'TestBench' annotation Tell what binder is the 'TestBench' for a 'Synthesize'-annotated binder. So in the following example, /f/ has a 'Synthesize' annotation, and /g/ is the HDL test bench for /f/. @ f :: Bool -> Bool f = ... {\-\# ANN f (defSyn "f") \#-\} {\-\# ANN f (TestBench \'g) \#-\} g :: Signal Bool g = ... @ -} {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskellQuotes #-} {-# LANGUAGE Safe #-} {-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK show-extensions #-} module Clash.Annotations.TopEntity ( -- * Data types TopEntity (..) , PortName (..) -- * Convenience functions , defSyn ) where import GHC.Generics import qualified Language.Haskell.TH as TH import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax (Lift(lift)) import Data.Data -- | TopEntity annotation data TopEntity -- | Instruct the Clash compiler to use this top-level function as a separately -- synthesizable component. = Synthesize { t_name :: String -- ^ The name the top-level component should have, put in a correspondingly -- named file. , t_inputs :: [PortName] -- ^ List of names that are assigned in-order to the inputs of the component. , t_output :: PortName -- ^ Name assigned in-order to the outputs of the component.
